I admit, I was put off at first when we arrived due to location, but the hotel is nice inside. Rooms have been modernized and are clean. Hotel has an elevator which you don't often see in older places. It is a 15 minute drive to the old town of Trier, so if you are looking for ambiance, this may not be for you, but it was a nice hotel. Free parking was located across the street on the side of the road in a gravelled area. Breakfast buffet was pretty expansive.
